deed of trust, Frederick Douglass at the

release was secured, and Monday the papers
were returned for further record. In ex-
amining the deed it was dated as of record
July 16, 1884, and on the back signed "James

about the Blaine boom to such an extent as
to write that gentleman's name where the

A queer old party is dead in France. Ever
since 1857 NJ. Bertron has presented himself
dbSNeIy Selielal eleCUoh as ude lIlouel repre-
sentative of the human race" Though he has
been candidate for every office, it is a sad
commentary ON the esteem in which "1nodel
candidates" are held that he has commonly
received but one vote-his own. NJ. Bertron
was gentle, guileless, old man, exquisitely
neat and very rich and eccentric. He had
the finest pear orchards in France and gave
all the fruit to the pOor-proof positive of
eccentricity Some time ago he invited by
telegraph all the crowned heads of Europe tc
dine with him, but, like a great many invited
guests nearer home, they didn't ''get there. >
